OK everybody, it's go time! I added the RG and IC link in my first post. Feel free to post whenever you are ready.

Action Points

Bobitron says Action points should also be 3/4. He asks that everyone adjust their character posts accordingly. If the current postings are at 100%, the corrections (rounded up) are as follows:

Dakota: 34
Dusty: 36
D'Artois: 46
Bear Trap: 45
Michael: 27
Riley: ?

 

[synecdoche]

Thanks, знаток.

Also, a rules question, regarding the wealth. So D'Artois was gambling, and he had 14 wealth. I had to make a roll to get into the game as it was at 15 wealth. So how much did my wealth decrease because of that?

Then, does winning the game increase my initial 14, or the number after paying to get into the game?

Michael's are 36 - I did the math

Righto! Don't take my word for it! I just took 1/4 off what was posted.

This can be a bit confusing for some, so I think I will just post some info straight from the rules.

Wealth Checks

Wealth checks determine what characters can afford and what gear they might find reasonably accessible. Every character has a Wealth bonus that reflects his or her buying power. Every object and service has a purchase DC. To purchase an object, make a Wealth
check against the purchase DC.

Wealth check = 1d20 + Wealth bonus

If the check is successful, the character has managed to scrape up enough cash, credit, or trade to make the purchase. On a failure, the character doesn’t have the means to buy the object. If the character’s current Wealth bonus is equal to or greater than the DC, the character automatically succeeds and the character’s Wealth bonus will usually remain unchanged. However, there is a penalty for a character spending beyond his or her means or buying particularly expensive items. Whenever a character buys an object that has a purchase DC higher than his or her current Wealth bonus or when buying items with a DC of
15 or greater, the character’s Wealth bonus decreases (see Losing Wealth, below).

Since your wealth was +14 before the poker game, and the purchase DC for $15 is also 14, you do not lose any wealth to ante up and play. You gain +2 to your wealth, giving you a new score of +16. These rules can be a bit abstract, but I think I like the way they work, rather than tracking every nickel spent.

I edited my PC so that it shows action points, wealth, and added 2 extra magazine tubes for the Spencer rifle.

Thanks Bobitron. Editing character sheet now.

Dakota's 45 AP is his adjusted total (out of a possible 60).

Just to minimize confusion, знаток is working along with me on this adventure. He will serve as the plot's catalyst, moving things along. I probably should have made that clear in the beginning, even though it seems obvious at this point.

Thanks guys. Great start so far!
